Q: I picked up some cumin on a recent trip to Morocco, and the scent is much more intense than any I have every bought in the States. I made my very first tagine the other night, and now my tiny apartment reeks of cumin! It’s been 5 days since I cooked that meal, and every time I walk into my apartment, I wrinkle my nose.
Any suggestions for eliminating the smell? Did I get a bad batch of cumin? Should I stop using the stuff? I’mtoo embarrassed to have any friends over in the meantime.
